What kind of projects is this fabric best suited for?

It is best suited for dressmaking projects such as dresses, skirts, and blouses due to its drape and texture.

Is this fabric easy to sew?

Polyester crepe is generally easy to sew, but it is always recommended to test on a scrap piece first.

How should I store leftover fabric?
